Wait

You can limit the number of seconds to wait before next script item executes, wait for a specific window, for the first of either, or for both. The window title comparison is not case-sensitive.

An asterisk may be used in the Window Title as a wild card indicator. It can be placed either at the very beginning of the title, or the very end. For example, "Untitled*" will wait for a window called "Untitled - Notepad", "Untitled - Word", etc. “*Notepad” will wait for a window that contains the phrase “Notepad”, such as “My Document - Notepad”.

You may also wait for a Window Title to not exist, by placing a tilde in front of the entire search phrase. For example, “~*Notepad”, “~Connect To” or “~Untitled*” are all valid.

If you need to distinguish windows by using their contents, press the Advanced button and enter the unique string to look for. Please note that other applications may not reveal all of their contents for use in Schedule Wizard, and that you cannot combine this test with a “~” attribute (see paragraph above).

NOTE: Exclude hidden windows in comparisons and lists – Windows applications often create “hidden” windows that you may or may not wish to access or have detected. This is normally only a problem when applications create hidden windows with the exact same name as visible windows. If you do not want invisible windows included in drop-down window title selection lists or when Schedule Wizards is trying to locate a window with a specific title, check this box in Schedule Wizard global options (File->Setup->Options). Tip: The Application Explorer program included in the Automation Edition can help you see the hidden windows that exist on your system.
